GREAVES, RICHARDSON, EMERY and SPARKS

  CANADIAN BOXERS:

 GREAVES, RICHARDSON, EMERY and SPARKS

- by Brian Zelley

There are many ways to tell the story of   Canadian

boxing, but when the final bell stops ringing, it all boils 

down to the hundreds of individual stories of all the boxers.

Looking back,  four of the many that provide some interesting

highlights  of the sport in Canada are Al Sparks, Blair

Richardson, Burke Emery and Wilfie Greaves.  But we cannot 
forget  ARMAND SAVOIE and ARTURO GATTI, GORDON
WALLACE, FRANKIE GENOVESE and JOHNNY GRECO.
